The heating system of the court house and
Jail is responsible for a special committee of
the Board again. The idea seems to be that
cit costs three times what it legitimately
should to heat the court house and Jail, be-
cause of defective system But the
questions arise Is it a defective system or
is it effectively constructed? The city OF
Lock port, N. Y, is largely heated by steam
from central plant; the buildings of the
Michigan University a. Ann Arbor, and the
Agricultural College near Lansing, are
heated in the same way; as is also the CAPT
tol at Springfeld and in those places, e.
pecially in Michigan. there is no complaint.
1t is not necessary to assume the system de-
fective, until the plant is pronounced imper-
feet of its kind.

Very naturally, having gone into the
anarchist case, CAPT. Black desires to do his
duty by his client; and as an energetic
lawyer, does not, and will not, give up until
the hanging bee is over, probably. Aside
from takihgan interest in the case as at,orn-
cy, he has the further stimulus to urge
him to obtain if possible a reversal of the
jury's verdict in the fact that he advised
Parsons to give himself up to justice when
he was in hiding and to all appearances
safe from capture. 1t is pretty hard lines
for lawyer to advise client to surrender
and then see HIM hung.

This idea calls to mind story fold by an
old settler Of Seth Farewell, years ago a
noted attorney and politician hereabouts-
one Of the brightest men the county ever
had Judge Ford was on the bench; and a
young fellow was called to plead to q charge
of horse stealing lie had ne attorney; and
his Honor appointed Farwell to defend, re.
marking that he should have talk with the
man and give him the best advice he could.
So Farwell and the horse.thief went out and
held conference on the shady side of the
old Court House. Farwell asked the young
man if he really did steal the horse. The
thief said he did. "Well,' said Farwell, sis
there any one here that could prove it on
you "Yes," said the thief 'there is a
fellow in there who could make 1t go hard
with me-" "Then," said Farwell, "my best
advice to you is to leg it," And he did. By
and by, when Farwel had returned to the
court room, his Honor said, "Well, Mr..
Farwell, are you ready for the trial of that

PENDENT is not here" "Why, how's that"

The Presidents Scheme,

A Scotland journal has the follow
ing on the presidents free trade sug-
gestions:
A great sensation has been created by
President CIeveland's message, and if the
policy which it indicates be carried out,
it will produce almost as much effect in
this country as in America. The tariff
reform which the president recommends
goes as far at least, as the abolition or re-
duction of the duties on raw materials.
Should congress give effect to this pro-
posal, its immediate result would be an
enormous stimulus to English industry.
Iron, though a product of manufacture,
is in one sense a raw material and the re-
moval of the duties on iron would stimu-
late ship-building in America and the iron
industry in this country. The abolition
of the duty on wool, which the president
mentions, would also probably lead to a
great export of wool to America and a
considerable rise in the price of that com
modify. The first effect of the adoption
of the presidents policy would be a great
increase in our trade with the United
States, but its second effect will be to
make America a formidable competitor in
the markets of the world. The late Lord
Overstone said that the commerce of this
country would receive the first great blow
when America adopted free trade, and
the first step toward that contamination
has been taken. For the present, however.
the change in the American fiscal policy
will be beneficial to this country, and the
prospect of it has diffused fresh hope
throughout business circles in this city.
Whether the president will carry congress
with him is another question. The
great manufacturing interests in the
Eastern States will struggle for their
monopoly, but they may be overborne by
the Western and Southern States. whose
interests are in favor of free trade

Hedging

Congress has as yet done nothing
worthy of mention. 1t has not even
fully organized. The house is partic-
ularly slow in getting at business.
The senate can show something in the
way of progress. Both branches will d,
however, adjourn for the holidays
with disagreeable tasks awaiting
their re-assembGng. The senate must
dispose of Lamar, and the house has
tariff bill in prospect which, it is
said, is already framed and has re-
ceived the sanction of Mr.. Carlisle.
1t is not stated that Mr.. Randall APP
proves it, and it is entirely safe to
assume that he does not.
The bill (which, by the way, no.
body speaks about with any degree
Of confdence) is said to provide for
a reveue reduction Of about SCI, O0O.-
900 annually. OF this amount, $780,
900. 600 is to come from a reduction
Of import duties, and So. 900. 900
from the abolition of duties on wool.

1t is to be observed that the inter
nal revenue tax is left untouched.
